Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, Sweden, contri buted to this evolution by emphasizing that protection of the human environment is a crucial element in the develop ment agenda As a result of that conference, the United Nations Environment Programme Secretariat was established to promote international environmental cooperation On the national front, countries through out the world began to set up or improve their respective environmental institutions Earlier, in 1970, the United States had already established the Environ mental Protection Agency for a cleaner, healthier countr y In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development, chaired by then Prime Minister of Norway Gro Harlem Brundtland, issued a repor t entitled Our Common Future Also known as the Brundtland Repor t, this landmark document suggests that creating separately exist ing environmental institutions is not enough because environmental issues are an integral par t of all development policies They are crucial to economic considerations and sector policies and should be integrated as par t of energy decisions, social issues, and other aspects of development work The next milestone in the evolution of sustainable development occurred at the 1992 UN Confer ence of Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, also known as the Ear th Summit Its major contribution was to give equal impor tance to the environment and develop ment It endorsed Agenda 21, both a think piece and a program of action governing human activities with an impact on the environment It also endorsed the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement of Forest Principles Most impor tantly, the Ear th Summit helped finalize the UN Climate Change Convention and the Biodiversity Convention, both signed by a great number of heads of state The UN Climate Change Convention and the recently ratified Kyoto Protocol have made significant contributions to the evolution of sustainable development Ar ticle of the UN Climate Change Convention provides that “the Par ties [to that Convention] have the right to, and should, promote develop ment.” The Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism is designed in par t to assist par tici pa ting developing countries “in achieving sustainable development.” At the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development held in Johannesburg, South Africa, heads of state and world leaders committed to implement Agenda 21 They also decided to carr y out a plethora of par tnerships to promote sustainable development These endeavors in our common cause have made sustainable development a par t of ever ybody’s vocabular y and agenda Once of concern only to environ mental specialists, sustainable development has become a cept that concerns ever yone Sustain Dev.indb 02/10/2007 09:30:57 Wilkinson, Clive R., ed Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2004 Townsville, Australia: Australian Institute of Marine Science, 2004
